NFL Power Rankings: Which teams are rising/falling entering preseason Week 1? | NFL.com
The Chiefs are underrated defensively. That unit helped keep the team in every game last season, at least until the Super Bowl, and most of the group returns intact. But the offense has been on a two-year downturn, and we don’t know how much longer Travis Kelce will play beyond this season. There’s also the possibility that the Chiefs start a rookie left tackle, something that didn’t work out well a year ago. If Josh Simmons wins the job, he likely will be lined up next to Kingsley Suamataia, who only lasted a few games at that LT spot before being moved to left guard this year. How that duo performs protecting Patrick Mahomes‘ blind side could determine if the Chiefs can make strides offensively.
1. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs)
Highest rank: 1 | Lowest rank: 2
Even after the second Super Bowl shellacking of his career, the ever-acrobatic Mahomes remains a standard-setter for clutch play.
The Chiefs Preseason Television booth will feature national broadcast veteran Ari Wolfe as the play-by-play announcer for the sixth season in 2025. Former Pro Bowl quarterback and NFL on CBS analyst Trent Green returns to the booth for his 15th season as the preseason crew’s color commentator. Joining Wolfe and Green for her fourth year as sideline reporter for the Chiefs Preseason Television team is Kimmi Chex, a Kansas City, Missouri, native and on-air host and personality for NFL Media. Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen is entering his fifth season delivering sideline features and reports for the preseason broadcasts. All three preseason games are produced by 65 Toss Power Trap Productions. All preseason games will air locally on KSHB 41.

Kansas City Chiefs
CAN: Brilliant minds
When you have the best quarterback in football and the best coach it’s impossible to count a team out, no matter how much we have before. The 2024 Chiefs were a highly problematic football team, and still made it to the Super Bowl. This year they’re better on offense.
It’s been a few years since Patrick Mahomes had the weapons he does in 2025. The return of Rashee Rice will make a big impact, and the team has strength in other areas to bolster their chances in 2025. Even if Travis Kelce’s impact continues to diminish there’s enough strength to pull this team into contention once more.
Doubt the Chiefs at your peril.
